A conversation with Lazer Scheiner

Anyone who has davened at Ohr Chayim in the last fortnight could not miss the branded coffee cups and signs hung prominently, proclaiming a unique partnership opportunity:

The shul that is there for all — Bakol Mikol Kol — now invites its mispallelim to pitch in with the operational costs and buy a seat for the coming year.

As the campaign at Scheiner’s is well underway, we sit down with renowned philanthropist and shul founder, R’ Lazer Scheiner, to hear about the early days of what is arguably Monsey’s most well-known shul, and the reason for this campaign.

Let’s begin with the opening of Ohr Chayim. Why did you feel there was a need to open a shul in Monsey? What did you feel was missing?

When I moved to Monsey in 2003, there were very few options for regular minyanim. The few shuls that had minyanim at all hours didn’t feel so welcoming to people who didn’t belong to their particular community.

Back in 1999, my business partner and I took on the mitzvah of tefillah b’tzibur. Since there were no options for minyanim outside of 'regular' hours, my partner, Tzvi Lichtshein, and I decided to open our own shul where everyone would feel comfortable.

Growing up, my parents strongly emphasized acceptance. They taught us over and over throughout our lives that there were 12 shevatim and many different ways to serve Hashem. When I was a kid, my father took us to all chassidish Rebbes, litvish and Sephardic gedolim—he

embraced everyone.

It was only when I grew up, and my parents had passed on, that I learned to appreciate this unbelievable openness. They taught us to accept every single Yid and be a part of amcha in a way where there is tremendous achdus.

That is one of the things that I’m very makpid on in our shul. We try to make it a place where everyone can come and daven. We have over 50 types of siddurim in the shul—Sefard, Ashkenaz, Sfas Emes for the Yekkies, Tehillas Hashem for Chabad, Satmar, Viznitz, the OU siddur, the YU siddur—and the gabbaim mix them up so that there aren’t entire shelves with only one type of siddur. We want every single person to come in, see their siddur, smile, and feel at home.

Any nussach that anyone wants to daven, whoever is a chiyuv and wants to daven for the amud, or say kaddish— the goal is for everyone to feel comfortable here.

Is that why you feel the shul has grown so much in the last few years?

It’s funny, we have people who have their regular shuls they daven in, but from time to time, during bein hazmanim, they come here and spend hours sitting in the shul, taking in all of Klal Yisroel. They soak up the achdus, the unbelievable unity where everyone feels comfortable, and it infuses them with happiness and strength for the entire year.

The shul is officially called Ohr Chayim, but it’s most widely known as Scheiner’s. You’ve been supporting

the shul, and now the public is being asked to pitch in and share in the zechus.

B”h I’ve had the zechus of supporting the shul for the past 13 years. Currently, times are a little tough; there’s not as much cash flow. The operational costs of the shul are around $220,000 a month, so I’m asking the public to pitch in.

I’m not sure how to break it down, but some of the numbers include 6,000 cups of coffee a day, 8,000 bottles of water a day. There are thousands of people around the clock—employees, rabbanim, maggidei shiur—there’s electricity, heating, and air conditioning running. The shul runs 24/7 and there are only a handful of hours a week when there isn’t a minyan of people in the shul.

I’m sure people will be surprised to hear these numbers. They know what goes on at Scheiner’s, of course, but they probably have no idea of the amount of money that it takes to keep the shul running.

That’s pretty much what it costs. Anyone who is interested can check our financial statements and see what’s going on. We’re open to anybody and everybody’s feedback.

Do you consider Ohr Chayim your shul?

Monsey’s shul? I’ve heard it being called Klal Yisroel’s shul.

I definitely consider it Klal Yisroel’s shul, and it’s a huge source of pride to me.

In the beginning, when people started calling it Scheiner’s, I would get embarrassed and try to correct them—Ohr Chayim. But now, there’s nothing that makes me more proud than having my name, my family’s name, associated with such a beautiful place.

It’s truly a huge zechus, and now people have an opportunity to get involved with such a big makom Torah and tefillah. People are learning all day and night—kollelim, shiurim. There are over 125 minyanim a day and over 5,500 people walk through these doors daily.

It’s a place for people to recharge their batteries in a good way, in a place of achdus, and they walk away from here feeling proud to be part of Am Yisroel. We put up signs with positive messages, encouraging people not to speak during davening, to speak to others with derech eretz, and remain b’achdus and b’shalom.

Everyone feels at home, no one dominates the shul, and we do whatever we can to create a welcoming place for everyone.

I can attest that is most definitely the case. Ask anyone who has ever davened at Scheiner’s and they’ll agree—Scheiner’s feels like home.

Every Yid Knows Scheiners

Our shul operates with a spirit of inclusivity, creating an environment where every individual can find their place and contribute to the collective strength of our community. Whether you’re here for prayer, study, or simply to connect, you’ll find a place like no other, where diversity is celebrated and everyone is made to feel at home. where every individual can find their place and contribute to the collective strength of our community.

Spectacular.

Consider fire safety when preparing for Sukkos

During construction

When putting up the lights and the הכוס יונ, make sure that the electronic connections are covered with electrical tape so that no water can get in there, from the rain, etc., although usually water will cause a Shortage, however it can also cause a fire ל"חר

When building the sukkah, be careful not to block any exit door or sprinkler room with the sukkah.

Light

You should only light candles on a strong steady table, etc.

You should not light any candles near the walls or the יונ

, [you don't have to light all the candles in the sukkah]. Also, do not leave the candles alone without supervision or go to sleep in the sukkah when the candles are still burning.

On Yom Tov at night after the suddah, if the candles are still burning, you can carry the candles out of the sukkah with caution.

If you had all the details in mind while building the Sukkah you can be lucky enough to have the

Heaters

All kinds of portable heaters should be kept as far as possible from the walls, the הכוס יונ, and the beds in the sukkah.

Make sure you're using the right type of extension cord, and the outlet has enough power for the heaters. And make sure the cord doesn't get overheated, and never place anything on the Heaters.

Smoke detector

It’s recommended to put a smoke detector in the sukkah in case something happens, so that it will alert you and the neighbors of the surrounding sukkahs timely.

When placing the smoke detector, take into account that it could also be triggered if it gets wet, or if insects crawl in, therefor when placing it you should make sure that it’s placed in a way that will not disturb your Simchas Yom Tov.

A special Raffle will be held for those who place a Smoke Detector in the Sukkah, the winner would get $500, to enter the raffle send a picture of the smoke detector in the sukkah to: 6 Laura Pl Spring Valley NY 10977 or to: office@rcmany. org, or text to 845.600.1911

THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION

(Re: Our Father, Our King, Issue 468)

Your Rosh Hashanah issue was absolutely magnificent. Although a magazine is a mundane kind of thing — especially at this time of year, which comes along with a heightened awareness of ruchnius — you managed to create an issue with true Yom Tov spirit. The pictures of shofar production were fascinating, and I learned something new in your article about raw honeycomb. But my favorite piece was the one about parenting being a mashal for our relationship with Hashem. I didn’t get to go to shul, but all Yom Tov, as I took care of my family, I found it deeply meaningful to reflect on every interaction with my children as a mashal for Hashem’s relationship toward us. It gave a special inspiration to the day for me.

I can’t wait for the mega Sukkos issue!

THE GREATEST LOSS

(Re: The Greatest Gift, Your Say, Issue 467)

Thank you for your amazing magazine. All week, I look forward to Wednesday for my weekly treat!

In a recent Your Say letter, a mother wrote that the reason our children are weak and spoiled is because we teach them to be that way.

MONSEY, NY

Tzippy T.

ףר‡„ ס‡װ ימ‡מ

I agree 100%. We mothers ourselves are spoiled; we can’t say no to ourselves, and we don’t want to say no to our children. Just look around at the standards of sheitels, clothing, summer homes, vacations and kallah gifts. Our parents didn’t grow up like this or bring us up like this. We created this standard, and we’re perpetuating it.

Instead of teaching our children that they have value without all that “stuff,” we are teaching them that they need these things in order to be happy. What a loss for everyone.

Another Mother Who Wants To Give Her Children the Greatest Gift

NOT THE RIGHT PLACE

(Re: The Greatest Gift, Your Say, Issue 467)

I did not appreciate the piece where the writer gives mussar to all the mothers who did not act the way she would have liked them to.

Chazal teach that if someone sees a flaw in others, it means that it’s something they need to correct within themselves. They don’t say to publicize it for the entire community (and their children) to read about. Certainly, it’s the wrong time of year to bring a kitrug on Klal Yisroel.

Thank you for your wonderful magazine. I especially appreciate all the Yom Tov-related content.

THE UNJUNK DRAWER

(Re: POV, Issue 467)

Thank you for the POV column! It’s one of the first things I turn to as soon as I get my magazine.

I just finished reading about how people manage their junk drawers, and I really enjoyed the read. I was also inspired by the two or three readers who wrote that they don’t have junk in any drawer because everything has a place. That’s my goal, too, and reading that motivated me to tackle my own junk drawer. I emptied out old papers, threw away

lots of junk, and gave many things an appropriate home. The rest of the things found their home in my newly organized unjunk drawer. It’s a pleasure to look at.

Thank you for inspiring me!

THE SOLUTION DRAWER

(Re: POV, Issue 467)

R.W.

Our entire family really enjoys and looks forward to The Monsey View every week. As an added note to your “junk drawer” conversation, I recently organized my junk drawer into compartments, with designated spaces for all the typical things like pens, small notepads for lists, safety pins, nail scissors, etc. But the best part is that the junk drawer became the solution to some small but annoying problems that come with living in a small house with a large family, ka”h. I designated one compartment to hold brushes and hair gel and another compartment for toothpaste and extra toothbrushes, so when the restroom is occupied, we don’t get stuck. It’s a real gamechanger during hectic mornings, and when there’s a line for the shower at bedtime.

A gut gebensched yahr to all of you behind this amazing (free!) publication.

AN APPLE A DAY

(Re: Abundance of Apples, Issue 467)

I tried some of the Yom Tov recipes featured and was amazed at how easy they were to put together and how extraordinarily yummy they came out! Some tips: For the Apple Cranberry Orange Crumble, you can mix the crumbs in a bag to save on cleanup, and you can sub coconut or canola oil for the margarine. The Apple Bundt With Maple Glaze, and the Honey Loaf featured the previous week, were delicious too!

Thanks for keeping me busy and for giving us a true oneg Yom Tov!

I tried drinking a smoothie after Tisha B’Av, and it left me feeling full and satisfied with absolutely no side effects.

First we have coffee, water, juice and cake, and then we sit down to a regular Yom Tov seudah . – A Reader

Don’t laugh, but I break my fast on instant noodle soup! No joke. I’ve also spent fast days craving bran flakes… – A Reader

The first thing I do on Motzei Yom Kippur is brush my teeth, so I guess my response to what I break my fast on would have to be toothpaste! Then comes coffee and cake. – A Reader

I break my fast with a cup of water, and then eat whatever is nearest to my hands, usually cake or honey cookies. The family eventually washes for a seudah. – A Reader

I break my fast on a hydrating electrolyte drink, and immediately after — coffee! – F.S.

YOM KIPPUR

A Clean Slate

Y. Levenstein

In our tefillos on Yom Kippur we say, “Ki bayom hazeh yechaper aleichem l’taher eschem m’kol chatoseichem lifnei Hashem titharu” — For on this day, He shall give atonement for you to cleanse you. Before Hashem, you shall be cleansed from all of your sins.

The pasuk is telling us that Hashem atones all of our aveiros on this day to cleanse us. Why does the pasuk repeat itself and conclude by saying once again, “ lifnei Hashem titharu” — you shall be cleansed?

THE YESHIVAH OF BARANOVITCH was in dire straits. Four hundred talmidim sat and learned diligently, but the hanhalah had no way to feed them.

From time to time, the Rosh Yeshivah, Rav Elchonon Wasserman, zt”l, would leave to raise funds for the yeshivah. He traveled to cities in Poland and Russia, but his efforts were met with little success.

The situation went from bad to worse. First there was not enough bread to satisfy the talmidim; soon the yeshivah simply could not supply bread altogether. There was no money.

Must the yeshivah close down? the Rosh Yeshivah worried, the burden weighing heavily on his shoulders alone.

There was only one other option: traveling to America. A fundraising trip to the United States in those days meant a stay of at least a year, in unfamiliar territory. But Rav Elchonon took on the mission.

Arriving in the States, things weren’t all that rosy. The Rosh Yeshivah traveled from city to city, state to state, but the revenue hardly justified his efforts. Would this trip also end in disaster?

One day, a Yid named Yosef Eliyahu Enthal mentioned to Rav Elchonon that there was a man in Manhattan who might be able to help. “He was once called

Pinchas Wasserman, but today, he goes by Philip Goodstein. He owns a coat factory, and he’s very wealthy. Maybe you can get him to help.”

“Pinchas Wasserman?!” Rav Elchonon exclaimed. “I know him! We learned together as children in cheder! Please, can you take me there?”

Yosef Eliyahu wavered. “Look, there are two problems. First, he isn’t shomer Torah u’mitzvos Also, he’s known as a real miser. It’s hard to extract even a single dollar from him.”

“All I can do is my hishtadlus,” Rav Elchonon replied.

When they tried to get an appointment, the secretary tersely replied that Philip was busy. They tried a second time. Same response. On the third try, Rav Elchonon managed to convince the secretary to give a message to her boss that Rav Elchonon was looking for him.

Philip’s curiosity was piqued, and he agreed to meet his childhood friend.

Soon, Rav Elchonon was walking up to the elegant entranceway of Pinchas/Philip’s home.

“Tell me,” Philip said. “How has life treated you these last few decades?”

“I learned by the Chofetz Chaim,” Rav Elchonon replied, “and later in the Kovno kollel. Today, I am zoche to have a yeshivah with 400 talmidim. How about yourself?”

“I arrived in the United States at age seventeen,” Philip recounted. “I found an old sewing machine, fixed it, and began to work with it. Today, I have a factory that employs 300 workers. We manufacture coats. In fact, my company is considered the largest coat manufacturer in Manahattan.”

It was quiet for a moment. Then Philip asked, “What’s the purpose of your trip to the United States?”

You were the iluy of cheder. You have

DRESS TO IMPRESS DRESS TO

Is that why you came to this world, Pinchas — to sew buttons?

“I came because I wanted to say hello to you.”

“Nu, Rav Elchonon,” Philip countered, “you were the iluy of cheder. You have deep cheshbonos behind every move you make. You obviously didn’t come all the way from Russia to say hello to me! Tell me, why did you come?”

“I wanted to say hello,” Rav Elchonon repeated.

The two old friends wrapped up their conversation without Rav Elchonon making mention of the true reason for the visit, and Rav Elchonon left. A short while later, he received a message from Philip’s secretary. Philip wanted to see him again.

On the second visit, Philip pressed, “Please, tell me the truth. Since our last conversation, I’ve been wondering a lot about this. Why did you come to America? I’m sure you have some important reason for the trip.”

“You want to know why I came? Here, look at my suit. It only has two buttons. One of them is loose. And a third button fell off. You have a whole factory of coats. Perhaps you can sew on new buttons for me.”

Philip smiled. “What do you mean, Rav Elchonon? Do you take me for a fool? Do you think I was able to establish such a big factory and attain all this wealth with no brains? Tell me the truth! What’s the real reason you came?”

“Why is it so obvious to you that I didn’t come here for new buttons?”

“Buttons are a penny item. A ticket on a ship for a three-week voyage from Russia to the United States costs several hundred rubles. You obviously didn’t pay all that just to get a few buttons, right?”

“Listen to what you just said,” Rav Elchonon answered. “The Gemara in Chagigah says that each of the seven rekios is a 500-year’s journey to the next. Your neshamah was carved out from beneath the Kisei Hakavod, and Hakadosh Baruch Hu sent it on this long journey of 500 years multiplied by seven. Why did Hashem send your neshamah this whole long way? To sew buttons? Is that why you came to this world, Pinchas — to sew buttons?”

Philip broke down. For the first time in years, he was reminded of his Creator.

Through his tears, he begged Rav Elchonon to help him recalibrate.

“Please, learn a daf Gemara with me,” he begged.

Rav Elchonon opened a Gemara and began learning a sugya with Pinchas. It was a most pleasant experience, and it awakened true feelings of teshuvah in Pinchas’ heart.

“I must begin to learn again,” Pinchas said.

Rav Elchonon promised to make sure a chavrusa was arranged for his old friend.

“Now you can tell me the real reason you came to the United States,” Pinchas said.

“I came because Yeshivas Baranovitch has no money.”

“I can help!” Pinchas immediate replied. “I will cover the yeshiva’s budget for the next two years.”

The Chinuch explains that the day of Yom Kippur is a chesed, a gift from Hashem to Klal Yisroel. Once a year, we have a special day designated for kapparah for all of our sins.

If we wouldn’t have this day once a year to stop, contemplate, and do teshuvah for the past year, our sins would accumulate from year to year, until there would be so many that we would chalilah be deserving of grave punishment.

In His great chesed, Hashem gives us this special day, in which we are granted a clean slate so we can continue to exist.

This is why Chazal say in many instances that Yom Hakippurim mechaper — this day is infused with the power to cleanse us easily.

At least once a year, we must stop and think, contemplate why we came down to this world, and see if there is any area in which we need to improve and do teshuvah, lest we forget our tafkid

The pasuk shares with us the way one can be awakened to teshuvah. If a person remembers, “lifnei Hashem,” that he is standing before the Ribbono Shel Olam, Whose kavod fills the entire world, through that, “titharu,” he will remember to do teshuvah, and will become cleansed from all of his wrongdoings.

New County Budget Includes Property Tax Decrease

There was good news for Rockland residents, as County Executive Ed Day unveiled his proposed 2025 budget, which will potentially have homeowners seeing a 2% decrease on their county property taxes.

Day inherited a $138 million deficit when he first took office in 2014, and has spoken often about how careful budgeting and fiscal responsibility put Rockland back in the black.

“We are operating this administration the way government should operate,” observed Day. “By keeping spending low, alleviating costs and reinvesting in our residents.”

Day’s budget will be reviewed by the Legislature, which will hold a public hearing on the budget. A tentative budget vote is scheduled for December 3, but if no action is taken on the budget by December 7, it will be automatically adopted.

Should the Legislature make any changes to the budget, the county executive would have a five-day window to review and veto any of those amendments. Still, it’s the Legislature that has final say on the budget, with the power to override any of Day’s vetoes by a two-thirds vote.

County Legislator Aron Wieder, chairman of the budget and finance committee, said that Day’s budget will be subject to a rigorous review that will include meeting with department heads and the county’s independent financial consultant, among other considerations.

Eisenbach’s Efforts Have Utility Companies Limiting Shabbos, Yom Tov Repair Work

While the utility companies have been accommodating, there have been instances where postponing crucial work hasn’t been possible, and where other providers have sent construction or repair crews at less than ideal times. Nonetheless, it is clear that Eisenbach’s efforts have borne fruit, serving as a reminder of just how much can be accomplished through respectful dialogue.

“The key is years of relationship building, communication and constant follow-up,” explained Eisenbach.

Elm Street Intersection Improvements Inch Closer

Safer driving is one step closer in Spring Valley, with local officials meeting to discuss the findings of an initial traffic study, and to plan the next steps for the problem-plagued intersection of Union Road, Elm Street and Anthony Drive.

Local utility companies have been actively limiting nonemergency work on Fridays and Yomim Tovim in Spring Valley, thanks to the efforts of the village’s deputy mayor, Yisroel Eisenbach.

After his election in 2019, Eisenbach began building bridges with the water, sewage and energy companies serving Spring Valley, explaining the realities of Shabbos and Yom Tov to them and providing them a list of all the relevant dates. Eisenbach has remained in close contact with the utility companies since that time, and was gratified when the utility companies contacted him last February to ask for the 2024 calendar of Jewish holidays.

Located on the border shared by the Town of Ramapo and the Village of Spring Valley, the intersection is a complicated one for both motorists and pedestrians. MJ Engineering has been hired to conduct a traffic study to address the existing issues. A meeting held last week between representatives of MJ Engineering and the Ramapo Police Department, Ramapo Town Supervisor Michael Specht, Spring Valley Deputy Mayor Yisroel Eisenbach, and others, provided a forum to discuss the project in detail.

A traffic light will be installed at the intersection as part of the project, which will also include the realignment of Anthony Drive. Ramapo and Spring Valley officials have agreed to share the cost of the work, pending approvals from their boards.

YOM KIPPUR

Yes, it’s totally normal to feel tired, overwhelmed, or even a bit nervous as the fast approaches, but rest assured—your milk supply will stay steady. Some people find fasting easy, others not so much, but whether you breeze through or struggle a bit, nursing moms are fully capable of fasting without compromising their supply.

Here’s the science behind it: Your body is incredibly smart! Before you even begin nursing, your body starts storing nutrients up to 6 to 16 weeks before you give birth. This way, if a sudden famine (or, in this case, a fast) comes along, your baby will get everything and every nutrient they need. It’s not as if the food you eat turns into milk immediately—most nutrients take a full 24 hours to 6 weeks to even begin making their way into your supply. So, on Yom Kippur, your little one will be drinking from nutrients you ingested long before the fast began! Most importantly, if fasting truly posed a risk to you or your baby, it would be forbidden by Hashem. But since it’s allowed, and science backs it up, you and your baby are in good hands!

Here are a few tips to keep you feeling strong and hydrated while nursing and fasting

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids in the days leading up to Yom Kippur.

Rest Up: Take it easy and try to minimize physical activities. Stay Cool: Avoid heat as much as possible to prevent dehydration.

So breathe easy, think positively, and know that you and your baby will be just fine. Wishing you—and all of Klal Yisroel—an easy and meaningful fast!

KAILY has been so lonely for so long. Can she hope for happiness?

As her body betrays her, all ROIZA wants is to keep giving. There’s a part of PERELA , deep inside, that’s been forgotten — and she’s desperate to find it again.

YAAKOV ASTOR

Chapter 14

Recap: Ivan Roluk saves the lives of two Jews in Treblinka death camp.

Winter seemed to last forever. Rachel wandered around doing nothing, occasionally getting a scrap of food to eat or share with her father.

Finally, mercifully, the winter of 1943 passed. Somehow, they had survived. As spring arrived and the weather mellowed, Rachel and Kayla were assigned manual labor in nearby fields. Kayla would often tell Rachel, “I see you’re tired. Let me do your work. Find a quiet place where no one will see you, and get some rest.”

Kayla had been a farmer before the war, and although the work was not easy for her, she was much more accustomed to it. Rachel was grateful that Kayla was willing to cover for her and let her go off on her own. Of course, she would make sure to come back for lunch time — she learned to tell time by the shadow that the sun cast on the ground — when the workers were served soup. They called it “soup,” but it was really not much more than water. But water was good. In the ghetto, they couldn’t even get that.

Sometimes Rachel would sneak away to one of the nearby farms. She would knock on the door and say, “I’m

hungry. Do you have a little food for me?”

Even though the farmers were Ukrainians and probably knew that she was Jewish, they were usually willing to share their food. Many of the older Ukrainians were decent people. It was the young ones who had absorbed the evil of the Nazi ideology. Luckily for Rachel, most of the younger ones had been drafted into the army or police and were not hanging around their parents’ farms.

Whenever the farmers gave her a piece of bread, she would take a little for herself and hide the rest under a fold in her blouse to take back to her father. Potatoes were too heavy to fit in her clothes, so she would try to eat them on the spot. But bread was something she always tried to share. It kept her father alive.

After a couple of months in the fields, Rachel and Kayla were among those reassigned to a mason factory. This was a plant that made stone and cement building materials used in construction. The work was backbreaking,

Sometimes Rachel would sneak away to one of the nearby farms. She would knock on the door and say, “I’m hungry. Do you have a little food for me?”

something Rachel was in no condition to do. Luckily, Kayla was able to cover for her there as well. As in the fields, Rachel would return for the lunchtime “soup” and manage to get some bread for herself and her father.

Mr. Blum did not have working papers, and did not want them because he did not believe they would save him or anyone. To the contrary; it would only make him more visible to the Germans. He realized that the Germans wanted to kill them all; it was just a matter of time. He told Rachel that he thought she was better off without any papers.

However, by November of 1943, as the cold weather returned, the few people who remained of the Judenrat persuaded him to register for work. They provided him with legitimate working papers and assigned him to clean up garbage. When it started getting very cold, this was extremely difficult work. All the garbage froze overnight. Mr. Blum had to take it apart with his bare hands. He had no gloves or anything to cover his hands, and his shoes — whatever was left of them — were often wet from the snow. There was still little or no food or water. And they did not even own a pot or can to put food or water in if they could obtain a little.

Rachel’s father’s health deteriorated before her eyes. He no longer looked like the person she once knew. She watched this in horror, but could do nothing about it.

Eventually, the ghetto organized a small infirmary in the house above the very cellar where the Blums had been living. Mr. Blum was placed there along with a few others. It was not an infirmary in the real sense of the word, as there was no medicine or doctors.

Mostly, it was a place where people died.

Mrs. Roluk carried the big pot of piping hot soup across the kitchen and put it down on the table, where Ivan and Stephan were sitting expectantly.

She took the ladle and first poured a generous amount into her husband’s bowl. Then she took another ladleful and filled up Stephan’s bowl, before finally filling up her own.

Stephan was about to start eating when his mother stopped him. “Not yet. Let us pray first.”

Ivan and Stephan took off their fur hats.

“Let’s pray,” Mrs. Roluk repeated. “Let’s pray that this horrible war end soon and that all of us find ourselves safe.”

“Amen,” Mr. Roluk said.

“Amen,” Stephan added.

* * * * *

Rachel was having a terrible nightmare. Suddenly, she heard a distant voice, “Rachel.”

Again: “Rachel.”

Ask away...

Let’s

Rachel lifted her head. The Ukrainian was gone. She climbed up to the windowsill, ready to climb out, but Kayla grabbed her

Rachel opened her eyes. She was lying on the floor in a dark room, the cellar. She was grateful she had been awakened from the nightmare.

But now she was waking up to a nightmare in real life.

Shaking her awake was Kayla, her disheveled hair and rags making her look much older than she was.

“Rachel, get up!”

“Kayla?”

“Shhh. Something is happening. Listen.”

Faint sounds of screaming. Then a gunshot. More screaming. Getting louder. More gunshots. Shouting. Rachel and Kayla’s terror-filled eyes met.

A single ray of light angled in from the small window high up on the far wall. Rachel got up to peek outside. Kayla motioned for her not to, but she went anyway, and stood on her toes so she could reach the window.

At first, all she saw was a ground-level view of a street. A few inches of snow. Then she saw people — people running frantically in all directions. The gunshots came louder and closer than ever.

A teenage girl ran right past the window.

A moment later, a large Ukrainian man in uniform stopped in front of the window, kneeled on one knee, aimed his gun and fired. A sadistic smile flashed across his face.

Then he turned in Rachel’s direction.

But Rachel had already crouched beneath the window. Kayla tugged at her clothes, begging her to move away from the wall.

Second passed — seconds that seemed like forever.

Rachel lifted her head. The Ukrainian was gone. She climbed up to the windowsill, ready to climb out, but Kayla grabbed her.

“Where are you going?”

“It’s not safe here.”

“It’s not safe out there either! Are you crazy?”

“Maybe I can make it to the stream and swim across.”

Rachel broke free of Kayla’s hold and started climbing out.

“You can’t go alone.”

“We can’t stay here.” Rachel leaned her body through the window and started crawling out.

Kayla turned back to the cellar. A teenage boy and girl cowered in a corner. They were Kayla’s brother and sister.

The boy said, “We’re staying.”

“I can’t let Rachel go alone,” Kayla told them.

They motioned with their hands for Kayla to go. Torn, she turned away from them and climbed out of the window to follow Rachel.

INthe Beis Hamikdash, the avodah of the day was a combination of solemnity and awe, purification and ecstasy. Even though we have yet to be zoche to once again do the avodah of the day in the House of Hashem, Yom Kippur is a lofty opportunity for us to purify ourselves and reach new heights.

On this day dedicated to teshuvah and tefillah in shul, we are all like malachim, completely disconnected from materialism and focused solely on our connection with Hakadosh Baruch Hu. We don white, we curb our physical inclinations, and we invest our heart and soul into begging for a clean slate.

When I began compiling this collection of snippets on gedolim on Yom Kippur, I expected to come up with tales and tidbits of how our giants immersed themselves completely in the kedushah of the day, to the exclusion of all else. I thought I’d learn a thing or two on how to achieve closeness to Hakadosh Baruch Hu on this day, and how to make my Yom Kippur more meaningful.

Interestingly, though, I uncovered a very different picture. Yes, our gedolim certainly soar in the realms of holiness and purity, of teshuvah and tefillah, and they certainly carry us, elevate us, and impel us to grow, true to the avodah of the day.

But is Yom Kippur a day devoted solely to bein adam l’Makom?

Let’s take a peek at the hanhagos of our leaders, and learn what they viewed as important on this holiest of days.

How many times would the Klausenberger Rebbe’s preparations for the Yom Hadin be interrupted?

Broken, battered, and oh-so-lonely — yet so, so strong. The remnants of a generation were preparing for a different kind of Yom Kippur. A postHolocaust Yom Kippur. A Yom Kippur without parents, siblings, friends or community. Despite the sadness, these survivors, each a giant in their own right, were preparing for the Yom Hakadosh.

It was the afternoon of Erev Yom Kippur, and the Klausenberger Rebbe, Rav Yekusiel Yehuda Halberstam, zt”l, was in the midst of his personal preparations. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. A young girl stood there with a heartbreaking request. “Rebbe! I don’t have a father anymore. I don’t have anyone to bentsch me before Yom Kippur!”

The Rebbe immediately pulled out a cloth, placed it on her head, and with the fatherly love and emotion of the approaching day, proceeded to bentsch her, just as her father had in previous years.

Five minutes passed. Again, there was a knock on the door. Another girl, bereft of her parents, wanted to be bentsched. With the same care and support, the Rebbe showered the girl with brachos. Again and again, the routine continued. By the time Kol Nidrei arrived, more than 80 orphaned girls had been lucky to receive the warm brachos of the Klausenberger Rebbe.

True, the Rebbe was barely left with time for his own preparations for the Yom Hakadosh, but he could hardly have hoped for a better preparation for the holy day than to be mechazek so many broken bnos Yisroel.

What was Rav Elyah Lopian doing in the dormitory just before Kol Nidrei?

If you prepared for Yom Kippur with Rav Elyah Lopian, zt”l, there was simply no way you could remain unmoved. His inspirational shmuessen gathered momentum as the Yom Hakadosh neared, stirring every listener to the depths of their neshamah

“Let’s cry out to Hashem and beg Him to help us come close to Him,” he thundered one year at his Kol Nidrei shmuess. The tzibbur could hardly echo his intense, “Lev tahor bara li Elokim, v’ruach nachon chadesh b’kirbi,” because the entire shul was in tears. Their desire for a cleansing and to feel a connection to Hakadosh Baruch Hu was palpable.

One Erev Yom Kippur, a talmid, who was curious to see how this giant of Torah and mussar prepared for the holy day, decided to trail his Rebbi. After the seudas hamafsekes, he followed Reb Elyah, who, interestingly enough, was making his way to the dormitory. To this talmid’s surprise, Reb Elyah proceeded to enter the restrooms and check if there were enough tissues to last the day. This would normally have been the job of the cleaners, but they were off from work because it was Erev Yom Kippur. Indeed, in one room, there were no tissues, so Reb Elyah stood and cut a large stack to make sure the bachurim would have an adequate supply. To Reb Elyah, there was nothing more important in these elevated moments of anticipation for the Yom Hakadosh than caring for the menial needs of his talmidim.

Where was Rav Moshe Feinstein right before the seudas hamafsekes?

It was Erev Yom Kippur, after Mincha. The shul emptied out as everyone rushed home for the seudas hamafsekes. One man had the privilege of accompanying Rav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l, home. As they walked, Rav Moshe announced that he wished to make a detour. “Let’s visit Rav X,” he said. “He hasn’t been feeling well lately. Most likely, everyone is too busy today to visit…”

Sure enough, Rav Moshe and his companion found the elderly rav sitting all alone in his home. Rav Moshe sat down and began speaking with him, calmly, slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. As the conversation unfolded, the rav’s face took on a new expression. He looked happy and relaxed. After a while, Rav Moshe stood up to wish the man a refuah sheleimah and shanah tovah

True, it was a busy day, but Rav Moshe was not too busy to remember a broken Yid…

What caused the Chofetz Chaim to break his kabbalah?

Every Yom Kippur, the master of the mouth, the gadol who taught Klal Yisroel the importance of guarding one’s tongue, had the minhag to hold his own tongue. On this holiest of days, the Chofetz Chaim — or the “kohen gadol of Radin,” as the people liked to call him — held a taanis dibbur, refraining to utter even a single syllable other than those of Torah and tefillah.

One year, as the Chofetz Chaim made his way out of the beis midrash on Yom Kippur night, he passed the sobbing form of an old bachur who learned in the yeshivah. Slouched over, Reb Hershel Kaminetzer, as everyone called him, cradled his head in his arm, and all who passed heard his pitiful sniffles. The Chofetz Chaim did not think twice. He stroked Reb Hershel’s shoulder and sat down near him. Then he did something he had never done before — he broke his own rule. The Chofetz Chaim opened his mouth and spoke.

Over the next few hours, the Chofetz Chaim infused Reb Hershel with desperately needed chizuk. Before they knew it, it was almost the alos hashachar and time to daven Shacharis. Rav Shach, zt”l, repeated this story, which highlights the depth of the pasuk, “Maves v’chaim b’yad lashon,” (Mishlei 18:21). Words can break and words can build. It was worthwhile for the Chofetz Chaim to disrupt his personal kabbalah on the Yom Hakadosh, and expend so much precious time to encourage and infuse life into another person.

Did the Tchebiner Rav have nothing better to do on Yom Kippur night than sit and sing?

On one Yom Kippur night, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zt”l, walked past the Kahal Chassidim shul in the Shaarei Chesed neighborhood of Yerushalayim where he lived. The tune of an old march could be heard from its windows. He peeked inside and saw a group of broken-spirited Holocaust survivors sitting and singing songs of the past. Rav Shlomo Zalman was surprised to notice the Tchebiner Rav, zt”l, seated in the crowd, singing along. Doesn’t the great gadol and gaon have greater things to do with his time on this precious evening? He wondered.

On Motzei Yom Kippur, when Rav Shlomo Zalman went over to wish the Tchebiner Rav “a gut gebentsched yahr,” as he customarily did, he could not hold back his curiosity and asked about this strange behavior.

“Indeed,” the Rav replied, “I had planned to learn the 90 blatt of Maseches Yoma through the night, but as I passed the shul and heard these broken survi vors comforting each other by reminiscing with old songs, I asked myself: What will bring Hakadosh Baruch Hu a greater nachas ruach — if I complete Maseches Yoma, or if I sit with these men and be mechazek them? This was my avodas hayom.”

Stunned by this display of extraordinary middos, love and care for fellow Yidden, Rav Shlomo Zalman exclaimed that he now understood just where the Tchebiner Rav’s great siyatta d’Shmaya in learning came from…

Why did the

Belzer Rav take a little walk around his shul before Ne’ilah?

In the beis midrash, the air was solemn. Everyone was getting ready to experience the final, awe-inspiring moments before the gates would close. This special day was ebbing.

Rav Yissachar Dov of Belz, zy”a, stepped away from his place and walked around the shul, as was his yearly minhag. He looked around at each of his congregants in the crowd.

The chassidim were sure that the Rav was hoping for them to achieve a final flash of teshuvah just as the sun was setting.

Just one glimpse from the Rav was enough to inspire such humbling awe that it was impossible not to experience deep regret and a strong desire to mend one’s ways.

But then, as the Rebbe’s gaze fell on one elderly Yid, they realized the true intent of this stroll.

The Rebbe, sensing that this man was weak and about to pass out, withdrew a piece of cake from his pocket. He made sure the Yid had eaten, and only then did the Rebbe return to the amud and lead the mispallelim with a rousing Ne’ilah.

PENCIL DRAWER

What was Rav Refael Shmuelevitz’s concern as he began Ne’ilah?

At one point on Yom Kippur afternoon, a close talmid mentioned to Rav Refael Shmuelevitz, zt”l, Rosh Yeshivah of Mir Yerushalayim, that he was feeling weak. It was a statement said in passing, without much thought or expectation of what would follow.

As the mispallelim prepared for Ne’ilah, however, Rav Refael suddenly walked over to this talmid’s seat and said, “Don’t leave shul after Maariv!”

Obviously, the Rosh Yeshivah wanted to make sure he would eat or drink something so he’d have the strength to get home.

The talmid nodded, and proceeded to focus his concentration on the powerful moments that were approaching.

Ashrei began. Deep into Ne’ilah, the talmid suddenly felt a yank on his tallis from behind. A young bachur stood there. “The Rosh Yeshivah told me to watch that you don’t leave right after Maariv,” he said.

The talmid was bewildered by the Rosh Yeshivah’s approach. Nu, I’m weak. But I will survive the fast! But how can I survive the year if I’m not focusing on my tefillah?! Who could think of “after Maariv” now, as we are voicing the final tefillah before the gates close?

But the Rosh Yeshivah could think of what would follow Maariv.

Years later, the talmid repeated that he was beginning to understand. To an adam gadol, besides being absorbed in these crucial moments, there was something no less important to think about — how a yungerman who was feeling weak would make it home!

As our gedolim demonstrate, on this holiest of days, it is specifically our shalom, achdus and being mechazek one another that allows us to ascend to the greatest heights — above and beyond the spheres of malachim.

5 TALES OF BLESSINGS FROM THE LEADERS OF OUR PEOPLE

A Houseful of Happiness

ELISHEVA LEVINE

A number of years ago, my husband attended the wedding of a friend, a grandson of Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, shlit”a. In the middle of dancing, my husband noticed Rav Shmuel nearby, and sensing the tremendous opportunity, he approached Rav Shmuel and asked for a bracha. At that point we had been married a few years and had not yet been blessed with children.

Rav Shmuel listened to my husband’s words, took his hand, and with the special smile known to those who know Rav Shmuel, said, “May your home be full of simcha!”

Later that night, when my husband shared Rav Shmuel’s words, I was overjoyed. What greater simcha could there be than the simcha of having children? In my mind it was clear that that was what Rav Shmuel had intended. Unbeknownst to me, however, my husband was spooked. He had asked Rav Shmuel for children; why had Rav Shmuel bentsched him with simcha?

their child’s vort. From there, word got out, and the requests kept coming. People kept asking, and we were happy to provide. In the space of a few months, our small home experienced more simchas than many houses see in a lifetime.

IT STARTED SMALL, BUT QUICKLY GREW. FIRST WE HOSTED A FAMILY SIYUM. THEN A NEPHEW’S SHALOM ZACHOR. THEN A NEIGHBOR ASKED IF WE COULD HOST THEIR CHILD’S VORT

The ambiguity of the bracha scared him, but seeing how happy I was, he chose not to share his fears.

The months followed, and true to Rav Shmuel’s word, the simchas abounded. At the time, we were living in a modest apartment that was spacious according to local standards. Our apartment was on a low floor, which made it easily accessible, and centrally located near a major bus stop — all factors that lead to our home becoming a hotspot for simchas in the neighborhood.

It started small, but quickly grew. First we hosted a family siyum. Then a nephew’s shalom zachor. Then a neighbor asked if we could host

With time, we were blessed to host our own simchas as well. Our firstborn was a boy, and his shalom zachor was literally an all-night affair. Our next child was a girl, and the kiddush was in our home as well. Rav Shmuel’s bracha had come to fruition in the most beautiful and unexpected manner. Yes, our home was overflowing with simcha, in every possible way.

Later, as our family grew and our needs changed, we found ourselves in the market for a new home. Thrilled as we were to be moving, there was a pang in our hearts as we thought of leaving our first apartment behind, where the very walls had played such a crucial role in other people’s joy. We could only hope that Rav Shmuel’s bracha would accompany us to our new home as well — so that it, too, would be “a home overflowing with simcha” in every sense of the word.

NOTICKETS

Move Over

BAILA BERGER

I was blessed, but also stressed.

If I had to schedule my entire to-do list on my big wall calendar, the boxes would pop off the page. And just when I thought I couldn’t possibly cram another thing into my schedule, some new things somehow snuck their way into those little boxes…

One more trip to the lighting store to finalize the spots. A call from the electrician, who wanted to know exactly where I wanted to add electrical outlets – which I had to base, by the way, on sketchy blueprints that barely resembled a livable home. Another call from the plumbing store, to tell me that the faucet I was waiting for had finally come back in stock… and soon I found myself agonizing with my designer over paint colors.

it was for us to move soon, and he was doing a great job.

Day after day, the workers put in full hours, and every time we visited our soon-to-be home, we took pleasure in the progress. We were moving in the right direction!

When the contractor told us that our new home would be ready for us to move in just after Rosh Hashanah, we were thrilled.

“So can we schedule the movers?” I asked cautiously.

We got an emphatic “Yes!”

Once the movers were booked, we began to plan and pack accordingly.

My husband decided to be mazkir our move to his Rebbe.

That’s without accounting for everything going on in my life besides the renovations. Suffice it to say our impending move was only a drop in the bucket. My calendar had lots to deal with.

So I considered ourselves lucky that we had such a cooperative contractor, who was giving our project all his attention. He understood how important

“What a beautiful time to move!” the Rebbe said enthusiastically. “Just as everyone is going out of their homes and into a diras arai for Sukkos…”

“We’re scheduled to move after Rosh Hashanah,” my husband said, thinking the Rebbe hadn’t heard.

But the Rebbe simply smiled and repeated himself, adding a slew of hearty brachos for a “gutte yishuv.”

When I heard what the Rebbe had said, I turned to my husband, halfjokingly, and said, “I have a feeling our move is going to be pushed off…”

It seemed unlikely. After all, everything was going smoothly — even the contractor said so — and we’d already given the movers our deposit.

I guess you could say I wasn’t surprised when something came up and our contractor informed us that he thought it wiser for us to push off our moving date by a few days.

And so, as the Rebbe had said, we moved into our new home the day after Yom Kippur, just in time to set up our diras arai.

We’re here whenever you need us,

with layette essentials to keep things simple on even the busiest days. WhatsApp or text us now!

With hearts full of gratitude, my husband and I, accompanied by our two sons, went to the Beirach Moshe of Satmar, zt”l, for a bracha. Our older son had just become engaged, and we were there to accept our mazel tov wishes and brachos for a wonderful future.

The gabbai let us into the Rebbe’s inner chambers, and after reading our kvittel, the Rebbe lifted his eyes to our younger son, who was just a few weeks shy of his eighteenth birthday.

“Mazel tov!” he said warmly to the brother of the chasan

The Second Vessel

AS TOLD TO HINDY KLEIN

AFTER READING OUR KVITTEL, THE REBBE LIFTED HIS EYES TO OUR YOUNGER SON, WHO WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS SHY OF HIS EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY

“Dos is der chasan,” my husband broke in, pointing to our older son. “He is the chasan.”

But the Beirach Mosher didn’t look away from the chasan’s younger brother.

“Ehr is shoin ah chasan! ” he announced. “He is nearly a chasan! You and your kallah should only see nachas, and shalom bayis, and bracha, and mazel, and parnassah and gezunt!”

The brachos came pouring from the Beirach Moshe’s mouth, and the room filled with the Rebbe’s fervency and overflowing blessing.

We were bewildered when we left, but we definitely got a bracha, even if it was different than expected.

And would you know it, we found ourselves drinking l’chaim for our younger son so soon after, the brachos he’d received were still ringing in our ears.

A Tale of Two Chuppahs

AS TOLD TO ESTHER KING

When I lived in Eretz Yisroel, I was friendly with the Berkowitzes, the neighbors who lived in the apartment above mine. Although they didn’t speak English and I didn’t speak enough Hebrew for a very close relationship, we always greeted each other warmly and schmoozed a little when we met. I didn’t know too much about them, but I knew that their daughter Miriam was of marriageable age, and as the years passed, I knew it must weigh on them.

One afternoon, Giveret Berkowitz met me in the hallway. She was smiling from ear to ear, clearly filled with joy. “We’re making a hachnasas sefer Torah,” she informed me. “It will be in two weeks. I hope you’ll join the simcha.”

That wasn’t quite the news I had been expecting. And who makes a hachnasas sefer Torah on such short notice?

“We went to Rav Chaim for a bracha,” Giveret Berkowitz explained, referring to Rav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l. “He told us to make the hachnasas sefer Torah, and to do it as soon as possible.”

Two weeks later, I went upstairs with a beautiful cake I had baked for the occasion. Giveret Berkowitz greeted me effusively, showering me with brachos. The family was ready, all dressed in their Shabbos clothes. As Giveret Berkowtiz led me over to the dining room where the festivities would take place, I could see tears in her eyes.

the glow on their faces, and the holy sefer Torah Through the window I could see the chuppah waiting below for the crowds to dance and sing as they escorted the new Torah to its new home.

THAT WASN’T QUITE THE NEWS I HAD BEEN EXPECTING. AND WHO MAKES A HACHNASAS SEFER TORAH ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE?

It was a beautiful simcha. I wished them mazel tov and left.

I peeked into the room, still empty, which would soon be filled with men completing the final letters of the holy Torah. Miriam was standing near the table, davening mincha. I took in the scene — the children all dressed in their best,

Exactly a year later, on the date they had held the hachnasas sefer Torah, the Berkowitzes walked Miriam down to her own chuppah. Amid the singing and dancing you could hear the echoes of another procession, another chuppah — and if you strained your ears to listen well, the bracha of Rav Chaim Kanievsky.

My Responsibility

GOLDIE HIRSCH

“It’s on my achrayus,” the Rebbe declared. “Go ahead with the shidduch.”

It was with much apprehension and concern that Leah’s father had approached his Rebbe with a dilemma. A promising shidduch had been suggested for Leah; the families were a great match, the boy was a gem, and Leah wasn’t getting any younger… but the boy was from overseas.

Eight long years of a happy marriage — in an empty, silent home. The couple had not yet been blessed with children.

Eventually, although the Rebbe was critically ill, Leah’s brothers entered his study, a kvittel in hand, adamant about receiving a bracha, a mofes for their sister whom they couldn’t bear to see in pain.

EIGHT YEARS PASSED. EIGHT LONG YEARS OF A HAPPY MARRIAGE — IN AN EMPTY, SILENT HOME. THE COUPLE HAD NOT YET BEEN BLESSED WITH CHILDREN

Leah, the youngest of six siblings, had tragically lost her mother at a young age. Her father decided that when looking for a shidduch for her, he would only listen to suggestions if the boy lived locally. He hoped that her future mother-in-law would always be there for her, filling in some way the role of the mother she never had.

But one shidduch seemed too perfect to pass up. It was flawless in every sense, minus the fact that the boy’s family lived abroad. Hence a trip to the Rebbe, who took responsibility for the success of the shidduch and told them to proceed. Chasan and kallah got married, with family and friends rejoicing at the wedding, davening and hoping for their future.

Eight years passed.

“Rebbe!” they pressed. “This shidduch was on your achrayus! Leah is still waiting for children!” Their hopes were pinned on him, and they left only after receiving the bracha they had come for.

Some months passed, and the Rebbe was niftar. His fiery tefillos, brilliance in Torah and magnificent insight were gone.

He had faced many health challenges, hovering between worlds, yet he’d always been a pillar of strength, a light shining strong. It was a devastating blow to his now vulnerable kehillah and community.

And yet, he didn’t leave them totally bereft. Already during shivah, his light continued to shine.

Leah gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The bris was celebrated, the simcha surreal. The baby was the first boy named after the Rebbe.

It was the Rebbe’s achrayus. He promised, and made it his obligation, channeling his special connection to the One Above.

The Rebbe is gone, but the strength of his brachos live on.

SHACHMAT

Weber Continues Grassroots Outreach at Ongoing Chill with Bill Events

State Senator Bill Weber has been pounding the pavement over the last several weeks, taking the time to meet directly with constituents and to hear about their concerns at his popular Chill with Bill events.

An estimated 1,000 people have taken advantage of the opportunity to have informal conversations with Weber since August 15, when the first Chill with Bill was held at Nussy’s Cuisine. Since that time, Weber has been making the rounds of the greater Monsey area, meeting with constituents in private homes in Wesley Hills, Haverstraw, Suffern, Pomona, New City and Nanuet/Chestnut Ridge, in addition to a Toameha with Bill held on the afternoon of September 27 at Wine on 59.

The most commonly raised issue to date has been the tax increase ordered by New York State Education Department Betty Rosa in East Ramapo, as well as paving, sidewalk, streetlight and pothole concerns. Weber has been accompanied by Michael Rydelek, his director of constituent services, at the Chill with Bill events, to ensure proper follow up on more complicated issues.

“The Chill With Bill nights out was an idea our office had to get out in the community and meet with people face to face,” Weber told The Monsey View. “We want to be approachable, to hear individual concerns and be able to respond in person in an informal setting where anyone can feel comfortable sharing a comment or question.”

AMERICAN JEWISHPRUDENCE

Candidate Elijah Reichlin-Melnick’s Connection to East Ramapo’s Tax Increase

BY ELIYAHU ASHER PRERO, ESQ. AS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE MEVASER

Background

According to lohud.com, Rockland County’s property taxes are amongst the highest in the nation. For residents of the East Ramapo Central School District, property taxes in Rockland County have increased by over 4%. Bill no. A05683B, supported by then-State Senator Elijah-Reichlin Melnick, seems to have played a role in that increase.

Who is Elijah Reichlin-Melnick?

According to Nysenate.gov: “Elijah Reichlin-Melnick was elected as State Senator in November 2020 and served his first term representing the 38th State Senate district, which includes the towns of Clarkstown, Orangetown, and Ramapo in Rockland County and the town of Ossining in Westchester County.”

“He led the fight to get effective state oversight of the troubled East Ramapo School District.”

“Born and raised in Rockland County, he has lived in the 38th District for nearly his whole life and currently resides in Nyack…”

Democrat Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski and Democrat State Senator Elijah ReichlinMelnick’s “Milestone Bill”

In June 2021, Lohud.com published an article under the headline: “State legislature passes ‘true milestone’ bill to give East Ramapo monitors veto power”.

“The monitor would also review the district’s budget and have the power to amend the spending plan to align with long-term academic and fiscal goals.”

“The state Legislature has passed a bill that would strengthen the powers of East Ramapo school district’s state-appointed monitors, including the ability to veto certain decisions by a school board…”

“The bill, passed in the last hours of the legislative session, will need Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signature.”

“The public school community can finally feel like they may have a seat at the table and an additional set of eyes looking at the school district and looking out for their interests,” said Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski, a West Nyack Democrat who sponsored the bill in the Assembly. He has been advocating for stronger oversight in the troubled district for years.

“State Sen. Elijah Reichlin-Melnick, a firstterm Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate.

“Calling the legislation’s passing a “true milestone,” Reichlin-Melnick said via Twitter that a strong monitor would provide East Ramapo public school parents and students confidence that the state “is ready to guarantee the education they receive will set them on the

path to a brighter future.”

“In his floor speech prior to the vote, Reichlin-Melnick delineated years of challenges within the district, including a budget hole, undetected for months, that forced the district to borrow tens of millions of dollars mid-school year….

“The state Education Department and Commissioner Betty Rosa have supported the legislation. The commissioner retains the power to overrule any decision by the monitors.”

The

Monitors’

Report: Raise Taxes and Evaluate Expenses

According to East Ramapo School District’s website, two Monitors currently supervise the district: Bruce Singer serves as Fiscal Monitor, and Dr. Shelly Jallow serves as Academic monitor.

On April 11th, 2024, the monitors addressed their report to Commissioner Rosa, stating: “In accordance with Chapter 89 of the Laws of 2016, as amended (Chapter 89), we have reviewed the proposed 2024–2025 school year budget to determine whether it is balanced within the context of revenue and expenditure estimates and mandated programs.”

“The enclosed report provides our findings and recommendations. We conclude that the proposed 2024–2025 school year budget is not fiscally sound because of an over-reliance on unrestricted fund balance that will exacerbate the district’s trajectory towards fiscal instability.…”

“Consequently, we recommend that you direct the district to revise the budget…This could be accomplished by combining a larger proposed increase to the tax levy and evaluations of administrative, operational, and programmatic expenditures….”

“We make this recommendation with extreme reluctance, given historical evidence that the community will not support tax levy increases that are commensurate with the district’s needs…”

“As we state in our conclusion, there are no longer any “inside the box” solutions to the district’s challenges…We, therefore, implore you to work with the governor and legislature to create a new financial structure for the district to ensure that resources necessary to meet the needs of the district’s resident students are made available.”

Three Years After Passing the Bill Granting the Commissioner Financial Oversight of East Ramapo, Reichlin-Melnick Now Opposes the Tax Hike

One would expect that Reichlin-Melnick would support an additional 4.38% tax levy. After all, the bill that he “carried through the senate” seemingly gives the monitors the power to recommend tax hikes (as then reported by lohud.com).

Yet, on August 1, 2024, Reichlin-Melnick published a letter on RocklandDaily.com stating: “Letting unelected officials overturn election results is a betrayal of fundamental democratic principles. The status quo doesn’t work for the district, but neither will State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa’s unilateral and legally questionable action. One of the founding principles of the United States is ‘no taxation without representation.’ The decision by Commissioner Rosa turns that principle on its head. I strongly object.”

In

Essence: Reichlin-Melnick Now Objects to The Natural Consequence Of His Own Bill

According to assembly.state.ny.us: Bill no. A05683B states, “up to 2 monitors shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the commissioner to carry out the provisions of this act including but not limited to providing oversight, guidance and technical assistance related to the educational and fiscal policies, practices, programs and decisions of the East Ramapo central school district, the board of education and the superintendent…”

“(c) The reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the monitor(s) while performing his or her official duties shall be paid by the school district...”

“§ 6. Fiscal and operational oversight by the commissioner. During the effective period of this act the commissioner shall undertake an enhanced review of the district budget.”

Ҥ 13. This act shall take effect July 1, 2016 and shall expire and be deemed repealed June 30, 2025.

“The monitor(s) shall present their findings to the board of education and to the commissioner no later than 45 days prior to the date scheduled for the school district’s annual budget vote.

“The commissioner shall require the board of education to make adjustments to the proposed budget consistent with any recommendations made by the monitor(s) if the commissioner determines such amendments are necessary to comply with the long-term strategic academic and fiscal improvement plan under this act.”

Summary

The law carried by Reichlin-Melnick in the State Senate, as interpreted by the commissioner, grants the commissioner the power to “make adjustments to the proposed budget.” The law does not explicitly grant New York State Education Commissioner Rosa the power to increase taxes.

Accordingly, even if voters in East Ramapo reject an increased school budget, the Commissioner, according to her interpretation went ahead over the will of the voters and raised taxes to fund her “adjusted” budget.

Note: the bill does not explicitly state that the Commissioner has the unilateral power to raise taxes, but it seems that the taxing power is a natural consequence of Commissioner Rosa’s power to “adjust the proposed budget according to the monitors’ recommendations.”

As noted, the bill will naturally die in 2025 unless extended. Consequently, electing Reichlin-Melnick may lead to future bills that result in increased school taxes.

RIVKY WEINFELD

Reb Yankele Zehnwirth was very concerned. His young wife, Trana, was suffering from an illness that had them extremely worried. Given his close relationship with the first Bobover Rebbe, zy”a, it was only natural that Reb Yankele went to consult with the Rebbe regarding his wife’s weakened condition.

Strangely, the Rebbe requested that Reb Yankele hand him an Austrian kruhn, a small silver coin approximately the size of a quarter, only slightly thinner. The Rebbe instructed Reb Yankele to bore a hole at a specific spot at the top of the coin and fashion it into a necklace. His wife was to wear this necklace at all times, the Rebbe said, and assured Reb Yankele that the coin would ward off ayin hora, and that young Trana would, b’ezras Hashem, recover.

Relieved, Reb Yankele went home and followed the Rebbe’s instructions. Indeed, his wife’s condition dramatically improved within a short time, and all was well.

Several years passed. During these years, Trana was very careful to guard the necklace. However, when she took it off for a short time one day, it vanished. Frantic, she searched for the missing necklace, but to no avail.

Unfortunately, she fell ill shortly thereafter. Distraught, Reb Yankele ran to the Rebbe to beg for salvation.

“Ich hub duch ungeshpruchen ah kruhn! I already gave you a kruhn to cast off the evil eye!” the Rebbe said.

Reb Yankele told the Rebbe of the coin’s disappearance, and the Rebbe then censured his loyal chassid: “Vi azoi farlirt men aza zach? How does one lose such a thing?”

Reb Yankele explained how the coin had simply disappeared and how they had done everything to find it.

After a moment of thought, the Rebbe said, “You know what, give me another kruhn, and I will shprech uhp ayin hara, cast off the evil eye.” Gratefully, Reb Yankele gave the Rebbe the coin to be blessed.

This time, too, Trana got better soon thereafter. After this

incident, Trana was especially careful to guard the kruhn, which had brought about her miraculous recovery.

Years passed. The holy Rebbe passed away on Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, 5665 (1905), but the blessing the coin heralded remained.

Sometime later, a child Trana knew was stricken with an illness. Trana hurried to the child’s home to place the kruhn around his neck. Within a short time, the child merited a complete recovery.

Unfortunately, however, the kruhn disappeared yet again! An acquaintance told Trana that if a coin blessed by a tzaddik was given to another person, the coin would disappear after it had an effect.

Understandably, Trana was terribly nervous after hearing this, because the tzaddik was already in Gan Eden. Her husband could no longer return to him in times of distress.

Tragically, their fears came true when Trana became dangerously ill once again. Her condition deteriorated from day to day. A specialist, Dr. Ligenza, who examined her, despaired of saving her life.

On Friday night, as his wife lay listlessly in bed, Reb Yankele went into a back room in the house and collapsed wearily on the couch. As he lay there, he dozed off. He dreamed that he was standing in his Rebbe’s room, telling the Rebbe about his wife’s illness. In his dream, the scenes of the past replayed in vivid detail: the Rebbe giving him the kruhn, his wife’s recovery, the coin’s disappearance, and the Rebbe giving him another coin and blessing his wife with a refuah.

Reb Yankele awoke with a start. He ran into the room

where his wife lay and shouted, “Did you hear that? The Rebbe blessed the coin! You will merit a full recovery!”

Trana opened her eyes at once.

Reb Yankele sent for the doctor, who refused to come. After Reb Yankele’s persistent entreaties, however, the doctor appeared to examine Trana.

After a thorough examination, the specialist turned to Reb Yankele, astonished, and exclaimed, “You have a healthy wife! What is the meaning of this? It is from Heaven!”

Slowly, Trana regained her strength. By Tuesday, she was able to get out of bed, and by the following week, she was ready to go to work. She stayed home for several extra days, though, for fear of ayin hora.

The story does not end here.

This true story was recorded by Rabbi Mendel Zehnwirth, a”h, to give chizuk to the future generations on the power of cleaving to a tzaddik.

TRANA WAS TERRIBLY NERVOUS AFTER HEARING THIS, BECAUSE THE TZADDIK WAS ALREADY IN GAN EDEN. HER HUSBAND COULD NO LONGER RETURN TO HIM IN TIMES OF DISTRESS

Every day, when Reb Yankele came home from work, he would empty his pockets of the coins he’d earned that day to calculate his income. Several days after Trana’s wondrous recovery, Reb Yankele took out the many coins he had accumulated throughout the day, and as he sorted the zlotys and kruhns, he was stunned to discover the missing first kruhn! Reb Yankele was able to identify the coin, thanks to the precise hole he had pierced years earlier, and he was elated with the open miracle! It was as if the Rebbe himself had sent the coin

back to him.

A short time later, Reb Yankele was visited by the great tzaddik, Reb Luzer’l Oshpitziner, zt”l, a son-in-law of the Sanzer Rav, zy”a. On the Sanzer’s Rav’s yahrtzeit, Reb Luzer’l would daven at the tziyun of his holy father-in-law, and on the way back home, he would stop in Viznitz to visit Reb Yankele. (Reb Yankele was a much-respected Bobover chassid and forged meaningful ties with many great tzaddikim.) Upon their reunion, Reb Yankele recounted the series of events to Reb Luzer’l and showed the tzaddik the coin. Reb Luzer’l advised Reb Yankele to record the story on parchment and store the coin inside the rolled-up parchment so Reb Yankele’s descendants would always remember the miracles that their forebears had merited.

Reb Yankele did as the tzaddik instructed.

Shortly thereafter, World War II broke out, and the family was forced to flee from Austria. In the ensuing chaos, the parchment was lost, one of the many millions of valuables desecrated by the Nazis, ym”sh.

Reb Yankele and Trana perished al kiddush Hashem, but their son, Rabbi Mendel Zehnwirth, a”h, survived. He moved to America and ultimately built a beautiful chassidishe family. He recorded this story on tape for his children and grandchildren so that they, too, would bear witness to the incredible miracles that Hashem had done for their ancestors.

SUKKAH CENTER

This recipe, originally presented in The Monsey View by Mrs. R. Kizelnik, appears in the cookbook of her daughter Mrs. Leah Stern, a”h, Around the Kitchen Table.

The days of Tishrei are saturated with simanim and minhagim While we don’t always know the reason behind each minhag, minhagim are the colorful threads woven into the beautiful tapestry of Yiddishkeit.

The sefer V’hayisem Li Segulah quotes a section of Minhagei Hakehillos in which it says that in the city of Mattersdorf, there was an old minhag to go out on Shemini Atzeres from shul and throw nuts. The reason for this custom was that from Rosh Hashanah, nuts were not consumed — since egoz and chet have the same gematria — but since the Yidden had done teshuvah mei’ahavah, the chataim had been converted to zechiyos. Stemming from this is the Hungarian minhag to bake pastries with nuts.

Growing up, my mother would serve this symbolic nut-filled delicacy each Hoshana Rabbah and Purim. There are those who serve it on Shemini Atzeres or Simchas Torah, and not on Hoshana Rabbah.

This heirloom recipe, shared with me by Mrs. Heidi (Henchy) Deutsch, a”h, includes three different glazes that are spread over the dough at different points of the process, resulting in a pastry that is as sweet as it is symbolic.

SUPPLIES

Kitchen scale

Knife

Parchment paper

Pastry brush

2 cookie sheets

DOUGH

7 cups flour

3 eggs

7 egg yolks

Reserve egg whites for honey wash.

1 cup oil

¼ cup light-colored, sweet wine

Any sweet wine works, but I use light-colored wine so it doesn’t darken the dough.

¾ cup water

½ oz. fresh yeast

This can be replaced with a flat ¾ tablespoon of dry yeast, but it must be very fresh.

⅓ tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

2 T. honey

3 slightly heaping T. sugar

Juice of one plump lemon

FILLING

1 whole lemon

2½ lb. (40 oz.) ground nuts

This can be a combination of almonds, filberts and walnuts, as desired. Using part chopped nuts will give it a coarser texture.

2½ cups organic sugar

2 T. vanilla sugar

Craisins

HONEY WASH

½ cup egg whites

½ cup honey

½ cup oil

EGG WASH

Egg yolks

GLAZE

⅓ cup honey

¼ cup water

Elijah Reichlin Melnick For State Senate November

01. Advance preparation (needed for filling)

Peel or scrape off the very outer edge of the lemon rind (since rind is questionable in regard to kashrus) using a fine peeler or paring knife. Cut into eighths. Remove pits and any hard skin edges. Place in the freezer until partially frozen.

03. Prepare filling

Place partially frozen lemon pieces into the food processor and process with the S blade until fine consistency is achieved. Add 1 cup of nuts to the lemon and mix by hand, crumbling to get all the lumps out. Add the two sugars, and mix with the S blade. (Craisins will be added at a later point.)

05. Divide in five

Using a kitchen scale, divide both the dough and the filling into five uniform parts. Lightly cover the waiting pieces of dough (with a dish towel or parchment paper) so they won’t dry out until you work with them.

06.

Sprinkle some flour onto a working surface. Working with one dough at a time, roll thinly, but not too thinly, into a rectangle. The length should be approximately the length of a cookie sheet.

Don’t worry if the dough isn’t perfectly shaped or stretches while working; the roll can be pushed into shape when it gets transferred to the cookie sheet.

02. Prepare dough

Combine all dough ingredients in a mixing bowl, and mix well.

If the dough feels too soft to work with, add 3 tablespoons flour and/ or place in the refrigerator until it becomes more manageable.

04. Prepare honey wash

Mix egg whites, honey and oil, and prepare in a jar with a pastry brush.

07.

Smear a generous amount of honey wash onto the dough, but take care not to be too generous.

We

08.

Distribute one part of nut filling evenly over the surface.

11. Prepare egg wash

Once all five rolls are ready, whisk egg yolks with a fork. Using a pastry brush, spread over the top of rolls.

09.

Scatter a handful of craisins (about 40 per roll) over nut filling.

10.

Neatly roll up the dough and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. You can put three rolls onto one cookie sheet and two on the other. Flatten the rolls with your hands a bit.

12. Slice rolls

Prepare some flour on a piece of parchment paper. Dip knife into flour and slice, patiently and slowly, on a diagonal about two-thirds of the way through, while keeping the roll in place with your other hand. Keep coating the knife as needed.

For an extra artistic touch, distribute filling only until 2 inches from the end. Cut the empty area into strips, twist each two strands together, and flip over the roll to form crowns. Secure strand under the roll.

ROCKLAND COUNTY LOST A

VOICE IN ALBANY; RESIDENTS HIT WITH A 5.38% TAX HIKE!

Two years ago, voters in Rockland County were bombarded with campaign literature urging them to rebel against Albany’s political leadership. The campaign material assured voters that electing Bill Weber would bring sweeping improvements to the county. Ironically, these campaign ads promised tax reductions if Weber were elected. Sadly, the opposite has happened. Bill Weber's Failure to Deliver

Since Bill Weber’s election, Rockland County has lacked proper representation in Albany. As a member of the minority party and without significant connections, Weber has been unable to advance the county’s interests, leaving residents in a worse situation than ever.

Elijah Melnick Brought Millions to Rockland County

As State Senator, Elijah Melnick secured substantial financial aid for Rockland County. Even after narrowly losing his re-election bid, Melnick remained committed to residents, bringing tens of millions of dollars to local villages and neighborhoods. His efforts directly benefited households across the county.

Melnick’s Crucial Role in East Ramapo

Before January 2023, whenever Rockland County faced issues, Senator Melnick used his connections in Albany to make things happen.

Take the East Ramapo School District for example. Burdened by an unfair state funding formula, the district was consistently short by tens of millions of dollars.

While in office, Melnick worked tirelessly to close that gap. Leveraging his relationships with Albany’s leadership, he secured tens of millions of dollars in aid, keeping the district’s public schools afloat without raising the already high taxes on local residents.

Weber’s Failure to Prevent the Tax Hike

In contrast, Bill Weber has been unable to secure the funds needed to address the district’s financial problems. As a result, on July 31, New York State’s Education Commissioner, Betty Rosa, imposed a staggering 5.38% tax increase on East Ramapo residents.

No Representation for Rockland in Albany

Weber’s response to the crisis? Harsh words and a bill he introduced, which garnered zero co-sponsors and no votes. As a member of the minority party, Weber has no clout in Albany to secure real change.

For nearly two years, Rockland County has suffered from a lack of representation at the decision-making table in Albany, where policies affecting the county are made. The negative effects are already being felt.

More Tax Increases Loom if Weber Wins

Unfortunately, this 5.38% hike is just the beginning. If Weber is re-elected, further tax increases are almost guaranteed as the school commissioner will likely continue to raise taxes annually to cover the financial shortfalls that Weber cannot address.

New York State distributes $24.9 billion each year to school districts—around

10.5% of the entire state budget! A senator with the right connections should easily be able to secure $20 million annually to fill the district’s gap. This tax increase is an avoidable injustice that would not have occurred if Rockland County had a senator capable of doing his job effectively.

Weber’s Support for the School District Monitor

In an attempt to avoid responsibility, Weber blames Elijah Melnick and the controversial school district monitor for the tax increase.

But the facts tell a different story: the monitor was proposed before Melnick was even elected to the State Senate. In fact, Weber publicly supported placing a monitor in the district and even demanded that one be placed in the Town of Ramapo!

This is just one part of Weber’s record that he would prefer to keep hidden.

Melnick Takes Responsibility, Gets Results

When the monitor bill came up for a vote, it was supported by all State Assembly members and senators, including (now Congressman) Mike Lawler and Senator Simcha Felder. Unlike Weber, Melnick didn’t use the monitor as an excuse for failing to secure the necessary funds for the district.

The real reason for the tax hike isn’t the monitor—it’s the fact that Rockland County no longer has a senator with the connections needed to fight for its residents.

We Need Elijah Melnick to Stop These Tax Hikes

To end the spiraling taxes and ensure Rockland County receives the hundreds of millions of dollars in aid that it deserves, we need to bring back Elijah Melnick—a leader with the influence to make real change in Albany.

BITS OF WITS

SHEVY HOLLANDER

SPELL IT OUT OOPS!

I don’t have to tell you that COVID stands for coronavirus, but why these letters? It’s a shortened version of writing: COronaVIrus Disease. Originally, some style guides required for it to be written as COVID-19, but then the usage became so popular that it became acceptable to write it even without putting it in all caps: Covid.

FROM THE HEIDGERDS TO BAIS MEDRASH ELYON

When Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendelowitz was looking for a place to establish Aish Dos Teachers’ Training program, he sought a property in a rural area since his doctor had prescribed the country air for his state of health. Mrs. Bracha Halberg, a shomer Shabbos licensed real estate broker, convinced Reb Shraga Feivel to come to Monsey. She suggested he purchase the academy that belonged to the Heidgerd family, formerly used for a military-style school, and eventually brokered the sale.

In the academy’s deed, however, there was a clause prohibiting the sale of the campus to a Jew. To circumvent that clause, Halberg’s non-Jewish lawyer, Mr. Crane, took care of the purchase and later flipped the property to Rabbi Mendelowitz. Since Rabbi Mendlowitz had no money for the down payment, Mrs. Halberg donated the commission she earned from the sale, and that sum was used as the down payment to purchase the property.

In 1944, Bais Medrash Elyon opened its doors on this site.

The building has gone through many renovations, but it still looks very similar to the original Heidgerd Home.

SETTING COMMON MISTAKES STRAIGHT

Blue blood may be an idiom to describe royalty, but it’s not an actual color of blood. Oxygenated blood (mostly flowing through the arteries) is bright red, and blood that has lost its oxygen (and mostly flows through the veins) is dark red, and not blue, as is commonly believed. Veins appear blue (or purple) because of the way light interacts with the skin.

Use the following letters to list 5 words, each using 7 letters and up. Only the center letter must be used, and letters can be repeated. Bonus points for pangrams (words that use all seven letters).

WORDS YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT SAY THINGS IN A WHOLE NEW WAY

Chockablock [CHAH-kuh-blahk] is an adjective that describes something that is very full or tightly packed. My freezer is chockablock with fine Yom Tov foods and baked goods (I wish).

It was the poets of the 16th century who inspired the name fall for the autumn season. It was first called “fall of the leaf” and later shortened to just fall.
